" The minimum ground clearance of the Golf Sportsvan is 115 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the Golf Sportsvan refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance for the Golf Sportsvan improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The design of the Golf Sportsvan began in 2008, with dimensions of 4351 mm in length, 1807 mm in width, and 1596 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680 mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the Golf Sportsvan is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the Golf Sportsvan. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice depends on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. If the vehicle is frequently used in rural areas or on rough terrain, a higher ground clearance may be preferable to avoid damage to the undercarriage. "

I previously drove the Golf Sportsvan for a while and specifically researched this parameter. Its minimum ground clearance is about 128mm, which is quite reasonable for a family car. It handles daily city commutes with no issues at all, easily navigating manhole covers or speed bumps. On weekends when taking the family out to the suburbs, even small bumps or potholes on dirt roads didn’t scrape the undercarriage. However, it’s worth noting that when loaded with too much luggage or fully occupied, the ground clearance can drop by a centimeter or two. This design ensures both urban driving flexibility and a bit of off-road capability, making it more practical than a regular sedan. Once, I drove a friend’s car with only 110mm of ground clearance to the outskirts, and it scraped the undercarriage on a small dirt mound—by comparison, the Golf Sportsvan definitely feels more reassuring.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Car Windows Roll Up and Down?

Here are the specific reasons for the abnormal noise when car windows roll up and down: 1. Aging of window seal strips: Aging strips are often one of the causes of resonance noise in car windows. For new cars experiencing resonance noise, simply applying lubricant may suffice; if the strips are severely aged, it's best to replace them directly. 2. Debris in the window glass guide rails: The gaps in the sealing strips of the window slots can easily allow dust and particles to enter during the window rolling process, which may cause vibration noise in the window glass. If dust and particles accumulate excessively, it can damage the lifting motor, leading to abnormal noise and even affecting the rolling functionality.
